RSS ONLY Falcon 9 ==> Launch your payload or land the booster.
V1.1 Starlink HERE
Vizzy contains accurate SpaceX style Starlink launch and land profile. Launch your payloads to precise LEO orbits. However beware: launch anomalies might occur!
V1.0: dummy payload, use with 15.0 - 17.4T payloads, LEO orbits
- Use with Hypatch's new RSS
- Ignore the warning messages when loading the game
- Small script bug: first input required is target initial launch altitude
Features:
- Realistic mass & engine performance
- Multiple
launch camerascenarios - Random minor or major issues can occur that can lead to a scrub or even a failure requiring FTS activation! Default
anomaly rate 21% - Checks for engine health before commanding release of the launch clamps (
automatic/manual launch abort) & manual Flight Termination System - Flight computer keeps craft within AoA restrictions in the atmosphere. Expect damage if you exceed these.
- Smooth
throttling, accurate g-limiter and minimum throttle protection - Accurate launch profile,
SpaceX styleby calculating an iterative profile that only decreases pitch (no sudden pitchup when circularizing) and uses adescending trajectorywhen necessary - Accurate, fuel efficient orbital insertion, two types of
payload release methodsand a deorbit burn - MECO calculated to target drone ship
- Accurate booster pitchover with custom
realistic RCS script(works best with mod AngularDragKiller) - Entry burn, including the pre-burn orienting maneuver, atmospheric guidance and
booster landing, with varying atmospheric turbulence conditions. No gyro cheating here! - Drone ship including vizzy script to easily place it at the right spot!
Caution: speeding up time —> chance of messing up launch (PIDS require minimum 20 fps). At critical moments time will be set back to normal, but this is not 100% reliable.
There are currently 2 methods of orbital insertion:
1. Initial launch altitude of <200 km: a second Stage 2 burn will raise perigee >200 km.
2. Initial launch altitude of >= 200 km will be completed with only one S2 burn.
Additionally, the first stage booster has a low energy launch profile for initial launch altitudes <175 km and a high energy profile for 175 km and above. Drone ship distance is adjusted automatically when placing the drone ship through the vizzy.
Drone ship landings: To place the drone ship at the correct location, start the drone ship at your rocket launch location and the vizzy will tell you what to do. Alternatively launch the rocket, follow the booster until touchdown. Save the location and place your drone ship there. Set water physics to medium for drone ship landings! Also, it's nice to increase physics distance in settings.xml.
Starlink launch profiles have orbital altitudes that typically look like either:
* 167x305km, second burn to 318x305
* 235x336km, direct orbital insertion

I have done a lot of testing but can only cover a range of scenarios, so I am interested in getting your feedback:
@Pumba1 you can find me as dooiereier on the Juno Community Server link
whats your discord?
yep
@Pumba1 are you on discord? It’s easier communicating and diagnosing through that
yea i have but it still doesn't work
@Pumba1 did you try v1.1? It should have a more stable trajectory. Although I have seen issues on mobile, pc is fine. Fps needs to be good.
how do i stop the first stage from flipping out of control just after the reentry burn
@Pumba1 go here instead, it’s version 1.1 with the 1.1 drone ship.
what is the code i have to enter for drone ship because the code it is currently giving me does not exist
@StarmanG100 im getting banned soon lol
@Aquaflames4571 no way my guy just admitted to pirating the game
@Bluestaf could be:
1. Low fps issue: press pause in the loading screen so it has time to settle. When everything is loaded you can unpause. Or buy a new pc.
2. Is it RSS 1.6?
when i try to launch it something separates the launch pad from the rocket and before i can enter all the flight details the rocket is already half blown up on the ground
@Dooiereier thanks for your support, i found the issue, it was because i was running a slightly older version of the sim
@Aquaflames4571 then I can’t help you. Just buy the game, that avoids encountering these issues.
@Dooiereier yes, but i tried with other crafts and their vizzy program does come with the craft when i download it
@Aquaflames4571 do you have a pirated version of JNO? Haven’t heard anyone else come across this.
@Dooiereier everytime i download the craft it just doesn't have any vizzy program
@Aquaflames4571 I just downloaded the file craft in this post and did come with the vizzy. What exactly is the problem?
mine did not come with the vizzy for some unknown reason and i already tried to download it multiple times. Does anybody have a fix for this problem?
@Dooiereier I'm not the one responsible for updating this website so I don't really know, sorry. My guess is probably not.
fascinating Spock would say. But I will try this cool device, I'd like to give an upvote but nobody can repair my account, I am still a zero man but who cares, I can read I can write, vote is something odd :D
@SupremeDorian Well that's awesome! Thanks.
(While you're doing changes on the website any chance to be able to make small craft updates on the same craft page instead of a redirect?)
I'm two weeks late, but the feature button on this website just got fixed after not working for the entire game's existence; so congrats, you have received the first proper feature in this website's history! That means your craft is pinned to the front page for a few days, and has a shiny featured tag in the thumbnail for that duration. :)
